Ep 6. Prepping vs Faith & Tiny House Living with The Prepared Homestead's Travis Maddox

Travis Maddox of The Prepared Homestead, is a fast reader. His pastor challenged him to read the whole Bible every month for a year. After the 12th read-through, Maddox had questions his pastor couldn't answer, which ultimately led him to conclude the Bible Laws (Torah) are relevant to our lives and must be kept.

In this interview, Travis and I discuss what it's like to have three children living in a tiny home (under 400 sq-ft!) and how to strike the correct balance between having the faith that Yeshua will care for us and the wisdom to be prepared for all things. Maddox talks about the top three things people in cities and the suburbs should do to prepare for hard times. He shares insights on picking breeds of chickens and sheep to raise and why being food independent is a big goal of preparedness. And he shares his top tips for building a successful YouTube channel.

Travis and his wife, Rivkah Maddox run The Prepared Homestead YouTube Channel and build communities filled with people working towards a self-sufficient lifestyle. They give opinion on news and current events as well as real-world advice on preparedness, homesteading, natural health and community building.
